Okoro’s a 2 guard playing SF.

This is the reality. Your “position” is what you can effectively guard on defense. He can’t guard prototypical SFs imo.

Okoro is a guard and Osman isn't starting quality.

They just don't have a good small forward and against these top teams with great small forwards they're struggling. They have better matchups but Durant, LeBron, Brown is a rough stretch.

And he will be lock down against most 2 guards.

I’m glad people are seeing the light. He’s starting to give me Corey Maggette vibes now.

I'm reading all the post about Okoro's size so I'm watching and focusing specifically on him and man......................

He does look little out there

I just can't understand how he didn't look this small in college. Every video I watched of him, I thought he was a solid SF and could possibly play some limited minutes at PF.

AD blocked Drummond to hell. It’s that forced post crap.

 

[Soar]

If I were to have a fear... it is that Okoro just becomes Tony Allen.

Which isn't bad. If he was the 25th pick.

Not so much the 5th.

 

[red.]

Good assist. Get MORE STOPS!!!!! Cavs can at least make this competitive.

 

[KilgoreTrout]

The good news is that Sexton will qualify to be among the league-leaders after tonight.

The bad news is that he may no longer BE among the league-leaders after tonight.

Lakers announcers: Let's see what the Lakers can do with Sexton on the bench

Gotta say it's nice having a player that can be said about.

 

[Soar]

Caruso can go fuck himself.

 

[benchplayer]

caruso with the leg drop!

 

[Jake]

Garland can be a smooth operator. With a little more experience he may be real good.
And Prince looks better than advertised.

That's why you have to be careful when drafting these 3 & D , 2way players so high. Most of the time they just end up becoming solid role players. It's rare that they ever become Jimmy Butler or Kawhi.
